Architecture students at Tulane University designed, created and built a permanent home for a man who hasn't had one for nearly two decades. The students worked on the project for 10 months as part of their final assignment for the UrbanBuild program at Tulane.

My town in northern California created a tiny home village with state funds and got almost every single homeless person housed. It works. Our country can solve this problem state by state and tiny homes and abandoned motel renovations are key to this. California is by no means perfect and has shameful problems accounting for the funds it allocates for homelessness but it is doing at least SOMETHING and that something is working in many counties. Now we need to tackle LA and San Francisco.

Congrats to Mr. Benjamin Henry! May he love and cherish his forever home. I hope he had some huge help in furnishing it too. I also like that it’s in the 9th ward. So fantastic for these students. I hope that whenever they get their dream jobs, that for every 10th job they complete (at least), they do something like this to give back to the community. They’ve already started down that road with this great project. Thanks, Tulane University. You are doing something great right.
